They might own a car, but it won't be used in conjunction with a mass transit trip. The vast majority of all mass transit users start out and end as pedistrians - but I have no doubt OKC will try the Park and Ride model anyhow. I forget the term for it but the propensity for a person to stick to one type of transit for a single trip is very high. It is almost unreasonable to expect someone to drive downtown, pay to park in this garage, and then take the streetcar to midtown that A) Already has their own parking garages and B) has ample free parking. The more likely scenario would have been the other way around - parking in a less congested midtown and taking the streetcar into Bricktown, but even that was unlikly because Bricktown alread has ample parking.
